The Swift bulge survey: motivation, strategy, and first X-ray results

ABSTRACT Very faint X-ray transients (VFXTs) are X-ray transients with peak X-ray luminosities (LX) of L$_X \lesssim 10^{36}$ erg s−1, which are not well understood. We carried out a survey of 16 deg2 of the Galactic Bulge with the Swift Observatory, using short (60 s) exposures, and returning every...
